Jim asks:
<< So, is this just another hammer option, or is this a "home run! You
gotta try these!"? What would you put them on? Concert instruments, everything?
>>
I don't know what different venues would like, I know that these
hammers will never satisfy the record producers in Nashville, who like a
crashy, bright sound. I have them on a 1927 M and it has that full, round sound
that I have heard before from original Mason & Hamlins. The malleability of
the tone is what is attractive to me; the pianissimo is big and round, and
with increasing force, the brilliance begins to appear. New, the hammers
are too soft for full range, but I suspect that with play, they will have the
magic combination. I am not scared to harden them if needed, but I really
want to put a few sets in the school's heavy use rooms and see if they don't
wake up all by themselves.
